Shower tray repair for Prestwich homes

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Shower tray repair in Prestwich without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prestwich as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Prestwich. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prestwich questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Prestwich included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
